We arrived in Bangkok on the first bus from Phuket. So we arrived way ahead of check-in schedule which is after lunch. Although we communicated our earlier arrival, something must have gone awry which led to a slight miscommunication with regards to check in times. Upon arrival at annie's place the guard did not speak a word of english so we managed by using google translate. He was super nice and immediately informed Annie's person-in-charge we had arrived earlier than schedule. We were actually ok to just leave our things and go back at check-in hour but even her person in-charge does not speak english so it was hard to tell them we could just come back.
Annie let us rest in another room while they got our room ready. In short, her staff would not let us leave the hotel and insisted we rest first in the substitute room until our intended room was ready. Really accommodating and nice!
Our actual room was clean and much larger than a regular hotel room. We even had an outdoor balcony facing the street. We also discovered a local eatery where all the locals eat and nobody speaks english but food was cheap and amazing.
Overall we give annie's place and hospitality a thumbs up!
